It is incredible how Boston media/fanbase are reacting toward fact that Yanks are creeping up on Sox... why is it that everyone, mostly, was of the opinion that the AL east would be decided in 3 game set in final weekend at Fenway. What is going on here? Back in April if you told Boston fans that come mid-september the Sox/Yanks would be neck'n neck heading down stretch nobody would think otherwise. So now that it is indeed the case you have nothing but worried fans all over fearful that Yanks are going to sting them again.

This kind of confirms my suspicion that Red Sox fans as a whole secretly enjoyed being that tough-luck bridesmaid for so many years. I see nothing that makes me feel otherwise. Without namedropping, there are many media types locally who are officially dismissing the Red Sox. One thing is true, they do not have a bullpen. Only positive in that dept. is fact that Timlin is fine to come in to start a late inning but with inherited baserunners he ain't getting it done. Foulke or someone else has to step up. Even with that aspect, their bats can get so hot that they can carry sub-par pitching.

I have not posted at the Rx in years and I notice alot of fellow Bay-Staters here -- am I accurate here or full of....beans?

Welcome back honzie, good post. Big Sox fan here and fellow Baystater. I posted a week or so ago that this team is not going anywhere with this staff the way it is, even with some great hitting. Sure they may somehow limp into the playoffs but after that they can't expect to go far when Tim Wakefield is your ace and Mike Timlin your closer (props to both for great seasons).




Best of luck, wilheim..

Thanks wilheim, nice to be back! -- I won't lie, I'm very concerned with bullpen woes but let's not dismiss them altogether! Not convinced that Clev. can keep up there streak but no doubt they believe in themselves at this point. Not the most powerful Yankee team this year either and White Sox badly need to get their ship right! Don't give up yet - but ask me again next week just in case ;->


ps --Sox are CLOBBERIN' right now!!!
